State in Financial Trouble, Again

A new poll spells bad news for California’s budget woes. According to the Chron, voters are not enthused about a series of ballot measures in the May special election that would raise $6 billion for the state. Voter support for the five measures ranges from 37 percent to 48 percent, according to the poll taken earlier this month by the Public Policy Institute of California. If voters turn down the measures, it will only worsen the state’s ongoing budget problems.
